Winter Glow Ball History

In the mid 1960s the Countess Anatole Buxhoeveden, whose daughter Anabel was an individual with intellectual disabilities moved to Monmouth County.

Quickly realizing the need for services for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in Monmouth County, she gathered her friends together and held the first Winter Glow Ball in 1966. That was the beginning of what would become the largest annual fundraiser held by The Arc of Monmouth.

For 25 years, this event has been chaired by Mrs. Anita Roselle, with support from the “Tuesday Group” Committee.

This event has been held every December since 1966, and has raised many millions of dollars for the association. It has helped to make possible the outstanding growth and success of The Arc of Monmouth.
